Anybody else out there order the Protective Film Hood/Fenders? Is it worth it ($360)? I realize it may cause a delay but aside from that, I'm wondering what advantage it may have being factory applied or aftermarket.

I tried, but Ford won't apply it to the 1st Edition Maverick, according to the Dealership... apparently if affects the hood graphic?

Anyone else run into this issue?

What's the going rate for a full clear bra application?

I was quoted approximately $1600 for Xpel full front bumper, full hood, mirrors, and door cups.
That's about what I want for protection as well. I read it's recommended to follow it with ceramic coating as well.

YES!!!. It will really look good. I ceramic coated my Vinyl Wrap and it made the color brighter. Understand the protection film is clear, but it will put a nice shine on it.

I have paid lots to have it done. NOW I do it myself and I only use Adam's Polishes. They have two different ones, Spray and Coating.

Spray, $50, is super simple and last about a year. So make it a once a year project.
Coating, costs a little more $100, is simple but a little more involved. Lasts unto 7 years.

I think it's worth it for the amount of coverage offered. On the less-expensive side you could wait for Lamin-X to come out with an Invisible Bug Guard, which runs about $100 and aren't too difficult to install for a DIY first-timer. As the name implies, it covers about the amount of area that one of those black plastic bug guards would normally cover (about the leading 6" of the hood or so).

On the more expensive side, you could get an aftermarket clear bra done to the tune of $1000 or more, depending on coverage, warranty, and film.

Personally I'd just wait for an Invisible Bug Guard. I haven't seen a Maverick in person, but from the photos, it looks like the leading edge of the hood will collect rock chips since the hood wraps around and has a forward-facing edge, but the rest of the hood is relatively flat.

Does anyone know if you can use your Ford Pass points towards purchasing this option and then pay for the dealer to install? I'm concerned as rock chips on a shadow black Mav will look rough.

My dealer says the cost is $800 and has no idea what Ford’s website is talking about…..

I had received a quote from a high end detail shop that specializes in Ceramic Coating and PPF (Paint Protection Film).

For just the frontend painted area of the MAV it was $800.
